Is kindness and thoughtfulness truly not important?
Ok, so I agree that the term "Drinking the....."is used in common language. I have heard it often here in Northern Indiana not referring to the T.V. However, if someone is open enough to tell me that they take offense at that term, then out of consideration I don't use it. Sorry for any offense Red. Sorry that other people have little consideration for someone else . No one cannot legislate it, but Red is being open and honest with something that is hurtful to her and others. It was one situation before you knew about the degree of hurt it caused it is another when you know about it.
Reminds me of the speech "All I ever needed to know I learned in Kindergarten". Part of that speech is about being kind.
Yep, I too have hurtful things in my life and we all need to learn how we will handle them. I personally take offense at taking the name of the Lord in Vain but I am afraid that is another topic.
